The Body Shop-Oil Free Foundation SPF 15

I'm currently using Revlon Colorstay foundation, which is by far THE BEST foundation ever! So i'd be using it as a benchmark whenever i try other foundations.

I prefer liquid foundation as to cream because it spreads easier and covers better.
I wanted to try out this oil free foundation from the body shop and as i am a member, i was entitled to 20% discount at that time of purchase so i went for it.



After using it, i realize that this foundation is pretty good. I like it at that it doesn't feel heavy on my skin when i apply it. It smoothen out evenly and easily across the face. I don' feel like putting on a thick layer of stuffs on my face but yet it manage to cover-up spots and troubled areas much to my delight. It doesn't smell and gives a matte, shine free finish.

As much as i loveeee this foundation, the only down side about it is that it washes off easily. A weee bit tooo easily for me. My face practically melted when in touch with water. Sooooooo, i panicked whenever i felt sweaty for fear that my make-up will look ruin.... which is such a pity because i like the texture of this foundation so much! if only it is water-proof! or at least a little bit water resistant. It would be perfect!

Priced at RM65 for 30ml, i find that a little steep as Revlon colorstay is about RM55. However, with 20% discount, it came to about just the right price i would pay for a foundation.

Wedding dinners

I've been invited to 2 weddings tonight...and 1 tomorrow night...wow...so many weddings in december.

I've only RSVPed 1. cos well, she's my childhood friend......someone i havent seen for a very long time. I can't seem to decide on what to wear tonight. Shall i wear my lacy cheongsam, shall i wear my halter neck dress with the ribbon bow in front....shall i wear my new tube dress....or go with my sequined punjabi suit since its a mix marriage afterall. chinese+indian couple.
decisions decisions......hehe....

CK Be

The other day while i was at putrajaya alamanda shopping after meeting up my clients...hehe...greatness of being a sales person is shopping freedom!! kekeke
I was over at Parkson fragrance counter.
I had wanted to look for my all time favourite CK Be.
The CK counter was having a give-away slingbag for CK One purchases....
It looked nice so i asked if i can get them if i bought CK Be instead?
But the sales person over at the counter gave me a shock with his answer.
He told me CK BE is DISCONTINUED!!
I wanted to cry!! I asked him are you sure??!!! he told me they ran out of CK be for a long time now and haven't received any replenishment....... i THINK he assumed that it is being discontinued...
Anyone knows if CK be IS discontinued or not???

Otherwise, Id probably grabe a dozen of them over at StrawberryNET Cosmetics
.
After looking at the contents of CK Be, i realized why i love the scent so much. Whitemusk and sandalwood as base and they have Magnolia spices in them!!! mMmmmmm..... Me likey...

Day after Christmas

Its kinda sad that christmas is over! so sooon.
Every year I waited eagerly for christmas to arrive. Sometimes in the middle of the year, we just feel like we want christmas to be around that we took out the christmas cd to play.....hehe...weirdo...

Well, actually its not so much about christmas that we like, i guess we love the soothing holiday feel thats associated with christmas...christmassy jingles that are so happy n cheery. And it feels great not to be so stressed and bogged down by work finally!! At the end of the year where everybody laze-out and just embrace the holiday.

Well, we'll be bidding farewell to 2007 soon. Time to look back and see how much have we accomplished this year? and then make a new resolution for 2008. I always do. Here's to a great year ahead!!

What I think about Asian Idol (!!Rant!!)

I wrote a pretty lengthy post about the show the other day.....but i didn't publish the post and had thought it was saved as draft.....but it wasn't....and its gone! So forget about that.

Anyway, did anyone watch Asion Idol or not?? I wasn't even aware it was on last week.....i just happened to be home and switched on the TV...and there is was Live!!! what a publicity.....

I must say that im proud of Jac cos she sure have great talents....not the best voice but still....in my opinion she have the best stage presence and showmanship ever. Like paul said "she knows how to make that magic on stage". If anyone deserves to win, she does.

Indonesian Idol- Mike have a great voice.......but too shy.....not enough stage presence....he was totally over shined by Guy Sebastian during the duet. But i had wanted him to win cos he is such a humble person and i know he can handle the title well.

Philippines Idol- Mau also have the greatest voice among the lot......she would have made a great "Asian" representative.

Vietname Idol- Vy, OMG! SHE IS DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. I bet this girl will go far! absolutely. Nice smile, strong voice.....young!! pretty pretty pretty....

Apart from Jac, those 3 are my top picks.......

I have nothing to say for India and Singapore Idols.......very forgettable....not very strong vocals...Can sing?? yes.....but strong? nope....
I mean.........what contestant would pick "Everything I do I do it for you" to sing for a contest???!!!! It does nothing for your vocal range......Nice song but........so flat......and boring.

Oh and Singapore Idol won!!! I thought it was a very shocking result. I couldn't believe it....
ah well.....Im not an Idol fan so........whatever....

Shoes, shoes, shoes

Hubby brought me shopping yesterday and so we went to U parkson.
MY INTENTION was to buy me a handbag. But.........as usual, the haul end of the day totally missed the mark. hehe.......so typical of me.
Ended up with NO HANDBAG.....couldnt find THE ONE.
But ended up with 3 pairs of shoes. yes...MORE SHOES!!

aiya....but then i only wanted 1 lah....but the hubby insisted on the other two that he likes....
so here are my new shoes.....
i guess i have my christmas shoes already...i just need to decide which one i wanna wear....and then to plan my christmas outfit according to these colors.....



This is the first pair. Hubby insisted to buy this one cos he says it looks so sweet. Personally i wouldnt buy them for myself la but then...as long as he is happy and i get more shoes ....heh...
Carlo Rino. It was 50% off frm about RM129.90.


This is from Carlo Rino too. The heels are actually much higher than in the pic...about 3 inch. And the motif at the back is that of a ribbon. Very sweet. I took it eventhough it was a size bigger. was 50% off frm RM89.90


This final piece is actually the most expensive one.....This is frm Hush Puppies. The picture doesnt do her justice cos the blings are sparkly n so gorgeous. Its a value buy item at RM120!!
a tad expensive....i seldom buy sandals so pricey but hey......once awhile la ya......

ANTM Cycle9

I've always been a fan of America's Next Top Model.
I've been watching Cycle9 on You tube recently. And this round, they headed to Shanghai.
Pretty cool season though i'm not quite happy that heather overstayed Lisa.

Anyway,
I found this header at fansofrealitytv.com forum very amusing.



First glance, it looks cool...........
Second glance, I was laughing my ass off.....
They translated Saleisha's name as "tong ku"!!! OMG...... which means Mushroom!! heheeeee....
I guess they refer to her as mushroom cos of her haircut. :P

Cute Jumper

Recently I bought a totally cute jumper from The Reject Shop at only RM17!! so cheap!! and it is sooo cute. It looks somesort like this one i found from zappos. Except that my top is a halter neck.
I love it! its the perfect homewear for hot hot weather. But the inconvenience is that you have to practically strip off everything to go pee. :P
